Goals+Achieved


 * How does the design model determine if your goals were achieved?**

**First, we'll start with the small goals.**

The ADDIE process is ongoing...it is a process that is always pausing, assessing, perhaps reteaching, and then moving forward. Instruction occurs within phases, between phases, and after implementation.

It is expected that a formative assessment will be given after each step of the process, whether for the instructor or the student to analyze if he is meeting his goals. If not, an opportunity for re-teaching or reworking the plan has arisen...and can be dealt with. Then the instructor will continue along the path until the summative assessment, which lets him know how successful his lesson was.

As noted earlier, there can be a variety of smaller formative assessments, and also a variety of larger summative assessments that can be completed individually or in groups--depending on the objectives and design of the lesson.
